Le Corbusier discovered tapestry in 1936 thanks to Marie Cuttoli. In 1948, he theorized the revolutionary concept of the “Muralnomad,” a mobile tapestry and living element of the modern home. In collaboration with Pierre Baudouin in Aubusson, he commissioned some thirty works between 1936 and 1965, inspired by purism, female figures, objects with a poetic resonance, and subjects such as Ubu and Totem. He also undertook major public commissions, including one for UNESCO in Paris.
